a simple pwer message
This morning as I was reading scriptures the television was on. It was a good guy vs. bad guy kids program. It was the Power Rangers Ninja Storm. I felt the leading of the Holy Spirit to watch a portion of the episode and to share what He had shown me.
The Power Rangers are us. We both are regular people who have received supernatural gifts. The Power Rangers are individually dressed in specific colors, such as the Yellow Ranger or the Blue Ranger or the Red Ranger. Each ranger’s color was indicative of their ability to fight evil.
While they were unique individuals, they were not to be seen as individual warriors. They were to work as a unified unit, with common direction. Together they defeated evil.
Each ranger could fight alone, but when that occurred problems arose. The focus became the individual ranger and not the fact that evil was thwarted. With the eyes of the community coming to an individual here was a pride issue. The ranger became distracted and self absorbed. There was no longer a unity in teamwork.
While each of us has been granted supernatural giftings, we are not meant to work alone. We are to work together for the glory of God, not self. In fact we are created such that we would need what others have. We could learn teamwork and accomplish much more. Scripture tells us that pride proceeds falling. If one of us falls then we all suffer, we become incomplete.
So no matter what brilliant color you represent it is but a gift of God. It is when we are properly combined that we shine the pure white light of God.
